The artist constructs a journey based on the transition from the traditional vernacular masks of Sardinia towards newly evolved contemporary rituals. A spectacular, installational analysis is born from the ontological necessity of rituals for humans- and their contemporary evolution.
Bio
Mara Oscar Cassiani, wi-fi based artist working in the performance, choreography, new digital and social media languages is an italian artist working in the realms of performance and new media imageries. Her research is focused on creating a contemporary imagery, where new languages, icons and visuals stem from the Internet and subculture identities and “brutal” capitalism. A live stream of images and consciousness in the rhythm of music. Her main research is focused in the creation of performing environments and projects amongst a generational core and their ritualistic development. She mixes and combines images and exceprts from pop, ritual folklore, digital folklore and commerce language to create a global snapshot, a “visual fastfood” between kitsch, raw rituality and apocalypse.
